Challenges

001. A Durable Paper

001. A Durable Paper

Is it possible to make a paper based material that doesn't get affected by humidity and temperature? A new material with a durability normally associated with steel, wood and hard plastic. We know it is, and we call it DuraPulp.

002. An Insulating Paper

002. An Insulating Paper

Is it possible to make paper that is light as well as insulating to sound, heat and cold? We think so. That's why we started working on this new material we call FoamPulp.

004. A Super Absorbent Paper

004. A Super Absorbent Paper

We think there are great market opportunities for a super absorbent material based on paper pulp. But we are not sure of which. We call this new material for ThirstPulp.

003. The Strongest Paper Ever

003. The Strongest Paper Ever

Researchers claim that if you break down paper pulp in to nano fibers and than build it up again, one could produce a material with properties associated to materials such as kevlar. What if we could make a protective vest in a paper based material? We think it is possible but we need help to make it happen and to create NanoPulp.

Updates

DuraPulp paper: Mill-scale trials!

Moving on: Applications

We asked the Cropper to runt trials with DuraPulp in their paper mill.

A green hanger

Moving on: Applications

Design student Chatrine Jonsson found the perfect material when choosing DuraPulp for her project with a more environmentally friendly hanger. The hanger has a beautiful but also smart design making it possible to stack the hangers together and by that reducing the space they need when stored.
